Cherry Trail: A Story from Havenburg

S.M.R. Burton

Kat, the introspective dreamer, Jace, the affable charmer, become childhood best friends as they grow up next door to one another in the cozy embrace of Havenburg, Michigan. Through countless summer nights and endless life events, their friendship begins to evolve, though not without obstacles.

Adulthood takes them down different roads and Kat’s insecurities over her mental health and her desperate need to keep it a secret from Jace sparks a tension that threatens to unravel the fabric of their relationship. Kat and Jace must confront their deepest desires and fears, leading to love, heartbreak, and the knowledge that change is inevitable.

In this evocative coming-of-age tale, journey back to a time of innocence and nostalgia, where the bonds of friendship are tested, and the echoes of first love linger in the crisp autumn air. Through laughter and tears, Kat and Jace learn that the greatest adventure lies not in the destination, but in the journey of self-discovery and the enduring power of friendship.

About the Author

S.M.R. Burton

Sara (S.M.R.) Burton started writing at a young age. Crafting stories in a wide-ruled, yellow notebook about her life, and the lives of her friends, it makes sense that she now writes romance and literary fiction novels that take a deep look into the dynamic of human connection.
She’s from small-town USA, born in Indiana, and growing up in Michigan, she’s spent the majority of her life in the Midwest.
When she isn’t writing, she is editing…just kidding, well, not really. Sara is a self-proclaimed nerdy, weird girl, who will always remain true to her authentic self. She has spent time crafting a space for writers, in her writing club “Wrevenge of the Nerds” on Discord, as well as on her social media platforms. She’s a mental health warrior who has adopted the mission of helping others to feel seen. And while any of the above is going on, there will always be music playing in the background, as she is an avid music lover.
